Apple Thunderbolt Cable (2.0 m) - White

Apple Thunderbolt Cable (2.0 m) - White

Overview

Thunderbolt technology supports fast data transfers with two independent channels of 10Gb/s each. And Thunderbolt 2 technology can bond the two channels for a superfast 20Gb/s. Use this cable to connect Thunderbolt-enabled devices to the Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port on your Mac.

The Apple Thunderbolt Cable lets you connect a Thunderbolt-equipped system to a Thunderbolt device. Connect a Thunderbolt-equipped Mac in target disk mode to another Mac for fast data access or system migration, or network two Thunderbolt-equipped computers.

I am using this to connect my MBA to a thunderbolt dock. it is not moved around. it goes in gentle sweeps, it is under no physical or thermal stress.
and every month or so the MBA locks up requiring a PRAM reset and cable switching - what else would I like reliability from a premium priced cable!

Used this thunderbolt cable as a connection from my MacBook Pro to other Mac's in target disk mode. Cant say I've ever had a problem. Not to mention the super fast transfer speeds too. Just that I find the cable to be slightly bulky.

Keep having to upgrade cables and get behind again.

Yet again I have bought another cable to connect to external devices. This gets really expensive when you go from USB to Firewire to Firewire 800 and now to Thunderbolt just in time to see USB C is coming. The cable does what it is supposed to but frustrated by constant spec changes and trying to keep up .

No way to connect miniDP monitor

So, apparently, thunderbolt port is backwards compatible with miniDP.
But the cable - is not.

To connect, for example, MacBook Air Early 2015 and Dell U2913WM you need DP/miniDP cable, not thunderbolt cable.
Excellent quality as usual, and I guess transfer speed is nice (can't check).

Yes. The cabling is exactly the same in both Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2. As long as both devices support it, you'll get the faster 20Gbps speed.

No, a thunderbolt cable will not work on a Mac Pro (2009). Should the graphics card have a socket that seems to fit a thunderbolt cable, the correct product to get is a Mini DisplayPort cable, not a thunderbolt cable.
